Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager shot dead during a scuffle with a neighborhood watchman, was suspended from his Miami school three times over the past year, according to the family attorney.
The revelation that Martin, 17, was dogged by disciplinary problems at school was the latest salvo in a war of leaks meant to bolster each side amid rising tension over the Feb. 26 shooting. Martin's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, will appear before a House panel today and rallies continue around the country demanding that George Zimmerman, the 28-year-old watchman who shot Martin, be arrested.
Martin may have cut a more imposing figure than previously known. Recent pictures on the web and social media show him with gold dental grill and making obscene gestures to the camera. In addition, Martin's Miami school records show that he has been suspended three times. Family attorney Benjamin Crump confirmed to ABC News that Martin had been slapped with a 10 day school suspension after a bag with suspected marijuana was found in his backpack.
Last year Martin was suspended for spraying graffiti on school grounds. The Miami Herald reported that the school guard who stopped him searched his backpack and found 12 items of women's jewelry and a flathead screw driver that the guard believed to be a "burglary implement." But Martin was never charged or specifically disciplined for the incident. Crump alleged that the Sanford police had leaked damaging information about Martin into order to muddy the case, calling it a "conspiracy."

Yes, it can be a man’s name, too, but not very often though.
Yes, why yes I did.......I love to read them every chance I get..........
This is an absolute score for Obama while SCOTUS is taking on Obamacare. Either way Obama wins...saying he tried to help ALL the people. Actually, helping himself to our pocketbooks.
Now they have Skittles and are blaming the police that Trayvon’s dad didn’t find out until the following day Trayvon was dead.
Trayvon’s dad didn’t bother worrying until the following day.
Now that you mention it, Zimmerman did say, during the 911 call, that there had been a lot of break-ins in their neighborhood lately.
I wonder if the number of break-ins will now go waaaay down since the death of Trayvon?........
I know a local man whose first name is Tracy—probably born in the 1930s or 1940s. Maybe his parents were fans of “Dick Tracy” in the funny papers.
Obama or Michelle wouldn’t not let this thug get within 100 yards of their two daughters. Despite opposing Obama on every issue under the sun, as a dad he is selling himself short on this one. I have more faith in him as a father than he gives himself here. His and Michelle’s son would not look anything like Trayvon Martin. Derek Jeter yes, Trayvon Martin no.

If I had a son he would look just him! How apropos!”
New SNL skit.
I’m sure Trayvon would have been welcomed at the White Hut to date Malia..................
My pitching coach in college, Jack Fisher, gave up #60.
This whole thing has gotten way, way out of hand.
I can believe anything about the Brady bunch. What a pack of a- holes.
Gee. Momma’s really in mourning now...... sarc.
Trayvon Martin’s mom files to trademark phrases using her son’s name
I think they are in damage control for Obama’s sake. Obama is too stupid to see that images of Sharpton and Black Panthers whipping up a frenzy is not good in an election year.
One day I am going to read a story about a dead black kid and the Mother will make a Statement saying.:
I couldn’t do nothing with the little bastard, he hung around with bad friends , he smoked dope, he participated in gangbangs of high school girls and he drank ripple all day. I don’t knw what happened to his daddy , he disappeared three days after he was born an I never saw him again. His half sister is in jail for prostitution and his half brother from another father held up the Korean store down the street.
“This time next week, all their websites will be scrubbed. This time next month, most of us won’t even remember this street urchin.”
I told my wife this morning that they hitched their wagon to this and they’ll soon be moving on to the next missing white girl as soon as they possibly can.
This is the strategy of the democrats. Get the media to send viewers and readers off on distractions..
Even if this kid was the wannabe thug he appears to be, I still feel for his parents.. (I better not use his name or I might just be violating some copyright laws)
Son-in-law? Can't have that as it'd be considered "acting white".
He'd make a fine "baby-daddy".
“My guess: As more and more information drips out about this thug, the media will quietly begin to distance themselves from it.
This time next week, all their websites will be scrubbed. This time next month, most of us won’t even remember this street urchin.”
Yeah. Right.
And thousands of people thought that when the police officers were found NG for delivering a tune-up to Mr. King that would be the end of it.......
